ABSTRACT

An experimental program is in progress at this Laboratory to measure various thermophysical properties of sodium, potas- sium, and cesium. A final reporting of the experimental results for sodium (saturation and superheat properties of the vapor, den- sity and specific heat of the liquid) is presented together with a thermodynamic treatment of the data. Two equations of state are advanced, one virial and one quasi-cheir.ical; and additional satura- tion and superheat properties of the vapor are derived from these equations. Either of two paths can be used to compute thermody- namic properties, the monomeric gas path or the liquid path; but results obtained by the former procedure are believed to be more accurate. Enthalpy, entropy, specific volume, specific heat, and compositional information (weight fraction of dimer, weight fraction of tetramer,and average molecular weight) are tabulated for some 700 selected vapor states in the temperature range from 1625° to 2575°F and in the pressure range from 0.2 to 25 atm.

PROBLEM STATUS

This is a final report on the experimental work with sodium.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF SODIUM

INTRODUCTION

In the development of compact turboelectric systems for space vehicles, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is sponsoring a property measurement program for the evaluation of several liquid metals as possible working fluids. As an integral part of this program, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory has measured several thermo- physical properties of potassium to 2300° F, sodium to 2500° F, and cesium to 2300° F.

The saturated liquid properties which have been determined experimentally include density, vapor pressure, and specific heat (except for cesium). Saturated and super- heated vapor properties including specific volume, specific heat, enthalpy, and entropy have been derived from experimental pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) studies. All phases of this measurement program have been completed. The final properties of potas- sium and cesium are published in companion reports (1), and those of sodium are pre- sented in this report.

EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS AND METHODS COMMON TO ALL MEASUREMENTS

A number of materials, methods, and techniques were common to many of the exper- imental measurements. These include the container alloy, the high-pressure furnace systems, the temperature measurements, and techniques for purifying and transferring the alkali metals. All are discussed at some length in the companion report on potassium (la), and only a short section related to the purity of the sodium will be included in this report.

Sodium samples for the density and specific heat detrvminations were distilled directly from a small nickel still (2) into each apparatus. However, for the PVT determi- nations this procedure was impractical, and the alkali metal was distilled and introduced into small capsules (la) for subsequent transfer into the PVT apparatuses. Sodium intro- duced to the distillation retort was a pure grade of E. L du Pont de Nemours and Company; a typical spectrographic analysis after one distillation at this Laboratory is presented in Table 1. It will be noted that metal impurities are present in very low concentrations.

Sodium oxides, which may be present in low concentrations in the distilled metal, should be effectively gettered by the columbium and zirconium of the container alloy. Therefore, oxygen analyses of the metal samples used in these studies were not made, but the oxygen content of sodium (as purified in previous studies (3) at this Laboratory by the same distillation technique) was determined to be below 10 ppm by the amalgama- tion method.

EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS

Pressure-Volume-Temperature Measurements of Sodium

Experimental Superheat Results - The PVT measurements in both the superheat and saturation regions were made with small closed chambers using flexible diaphragms as null-detectors. This high-temperature columbium-1% zirconium apparatus and the methods employed are described in detail for potassium (la); thus, only the new experi- mental results for sodium are included in (his report.

The nine PVT experiments for sodium (Table 2) covered a wide range in the super- heat region with measured temperatures extending from 1760° to 2590° F and pressures from 1.9 to 25.1 atm. For each experimental point in this table, pressure and tempera- ture were directly observed and the specific volume was computed from the weight of sodium added to the chamber. The inconsistent numbering cf the sodium experiments may be misleading; it results from these experiments being performed concurrently with those for potassium and cesium.

At each equilibrium point represented by the data in Table 2, multiple readings of temperature and pressure were made at 5 to 10 min intervals until successive readings showed a temperature drift of 0.07oF/min or less and a temperature difference across the chamber less than 20F (and generally less than 10F). In the measurement of pres- sures with the diaphragm device, the excellent reproducibility obtained during the potas- sium measurements (la) continued for sodium. Measurements for each experiment (except experiment 18) were made over a minimum of one full cycle from the normal boiling point to about 2525° F, and equilibrium pressures were reproduced in the super- heat region to better than ±0.1 psi before, during, and after cycling.

Specific Volumes of Saturated Vapor - Specific volumes* of several saturated vapor states (Table 3) were observed over the temperature range from 1750° to 2555° F. The measurements were made in the course of the PVT studies, and each point represents an intersection of the saturated and superheated vapor curves for one of the nine PVT experiments. However, for the low-weight and low-pressure experiments (particularly 3, 4, 18, and 19), the observed pressures near the intersection of the saturation and superheat curves were found to be abnormally low. To study this phenomenon, a large number of observed points were taken in this region for experiment 3, and a portion of this experimental curve is presented as Fig. 1. It will be noted that for a temperature range of about 150°F observed pressures are significantly below the true saturation and superheat curves. The several factors which may contribute to this lowering phenomenon include the existence of dual states, elevation of the boiling point by nonvolatile impurities, and the retention of condensed alkali metal on the walls by adsorption and capillarity effects. These factors are discussed in some detail in Ref. la.

The saturated specific volume for each PVT experiment was obtained, as illustrated for experiment 3 in Fig. 1, by a short extrapolation of the superheated vapor curve to the true saturation curve as defined by the vapor-pressure equation (Eq. (1)). Although the extrapolation procedure l nded to minimize any error in the saturated specific volume resulting from the depression phenomenon, it is believed that specific volumes obtained from the virial equation (Eq. (14)) and the vapor-pressure equation (Eq. (1)) will be of higher reliability than those observed at the intersection points (Table 3). Even so, cor- responding values computed from the virial equation show an average deviation of only ±0.57% from the observed values.

*Preliminary values for the specific volume of saturated sodium vapor (29) were based on incorrect therma1 expansion values for columbium-1% zirconium.

Discussion of Superheat Results - The sources and magnitudes of errors in the PVT measurements were discussed in detail for potassium (la). Many of these are common to the PVT studies of all the alkali metals, and only those which are specific to the sodium work are included here.

Although the procedures developed with potassium for the degassing and closing of null-point apparatuses were very effective in excluding all inert gas from the chambers, the possibility of inadvertently trapping gas in a chamber still existed. Therefore, each sodium apparatus was checked for gas at the conclusion of an experiment by opening the chamber to an evacuated manometer. Gas pressures as low as 0.01 psi were detectable in this manner, and no gas was detected in any of the nine experiments for sodium.

Two apparatuses of significantly different surface-to-volume ratios were used in the potassium study (la). A comparison of compressibility factors measured with the two apparatuses provided evidence that any adsorption of potassium on the metal surfaces was insignificant. For sodium, two experiments (18 and 19) were again made with a large apparatus of nominal 113 cc volume and a surface-to-volume ratio of 1.64 cm"x. The remaining experiments were made with the standard 57-cc apparatus having a surface-to- volume ratio of 2.15 cm"1. If adsorption of sodium had been significant, one would expect the low-weight experiments performed with the lower surface-to-volume chambers to have observed pressures which would appear high relative to the other experiments. The fact that the observed pressures for these two experiments are not high provides addi- tional evidence that any surface adsorption was insignificant.

The factor of thermal ionization was discussed for f ntassium vapor in Ref. la. An estimate of the degree of ionization was obtained for sodium from its ionization potential (4). For the metal vapor at 2500°F and 1 atm, the degree of ionization was estimated to be less than 10"7. This calculation leads to the conclusion that the degree of thermal ionization is several orders of magnitude too low to produce a measurable increase in pressure.

The results of PVT measurements are generally reported in the form of compres- sibility factors (pV/RT), since these factors, in one form or another, are employed directly in the thermodynamic reduction of data. It ie then desirable to express experi- mental error in terms of these factors. If we take into account all known sources of uncertainty, the percent probable error in the compressibility factor ranges from a minimum of 0.26% to a maximum of 0.44%. The relatively large error occurred in experiment 4 and was generated by uncertainty in the weight of the very small sample of sodium employed.

Experimental Saturation Pressures - Saturation pressures of sodium for the full temperature range (0.34 atm at 14370Fto 23.8 atm at 2539°F) were measured with a separate PVT apparatus using a large excess of the alkali metal, and the results are presented in the "Vapor-Pressure Experiments" section of Table 4. Pressures to 12.9 atm which were measured in the course of eight PVT experiments are presented in the second section of the same table. It has been shown that saturation pressures observed for each experiment near the intersection of the saturation and superheat curves were below corresponding values on the true saturation curve. This lowering of the vapor pressure can be satisfactorily explained (la), and observed pressures in these regions are not included in the table.

The vjyjor-pressure data in Table 4 are presented graphically in Fig. 2. It is evident from a large-scale plot that log p versus IT for sodium is not linear, but the data can be effectively fitted for the full temperature range (normal boiling point to 2^40oF) with one three-term equation of the Kirchhoff type (log p =or + 6/r + c log T). Afew measurements of vapor pressure below 1 atm are included in Table 4 and Fig. 2, but these are believed to be of lower precision and were given no weight in determining the coefficients of the vapor-pressure equation.

for sodium were obtained by least-squares (computer) treatments of the data. Eq. (1) was derived from a treatment using all the observed vapor pressures above the normal boil- ing point. Eq. (2) was derived from twenty points selected at equal intervals of i T from a smoothed plot of log p versus 1/T for all the data. Eq. (3) was derived from the data of the vapor-pressure experiments in the first section of Table 4. The average deviation of all the observed vapor-pressure data in Table 4 from corresponding values computed from any one of the three equations is iO.37%. The three equations are, therefore, effectively equivalent, but other thermodynamic quantities in this report are based on Eq. (1). The normal boiling point as obtained from Eq.

The NRL vapor pressures are compared to those of previous investigators in Fig. 3. Vapor pressures of sodium above the normal boiling joint have been observed by Bowles and Rosenblum (5) over the temperature range from 1778° to 3418°F, by Sowa (6) over

In Fig. 3 the NRL results have been arbitrarily taken as standard, and the percent deviation of the vapor pressure of each investigator from that of NRL is plotted as a function of temper- ature. It will be noted that the vapor pressures observed by Makansi are in excellent agreement and those by Bowles and Rosenblum in good agreement with the NRL data. The data by Sowa exhibit a positive deviation at higher temperatures which apparently is outside the range of combined experimental errors. Kirilov and Grachev have reported results for both potassium (9) and sodium (7), and the data for each metal deviate widely from all published work.

As an independent check c the internal consistency of the vapor-pressure measure- ments, the heat of vaporization to the monomer at absolute zero was computed for each observed saturation point with the relationship

Theoretically, the same value of ( \^),, should be obtained for all the saturation points, and there is reasonable constancy. The small temperature trend of ( \A^)(i can result from errors in the vapor pressure, the virial coefficients, or in any of the free-energy functions employed in the computations. The free-energy functions of the liquid appear to be the least reliable quantities. These functions are known precisely

only to 1650° F and above this temperature must be obtained by an extrapolation of the liquid specific-heat results of Ginnings (see "Specific Heat" section). This extrapolation was roughly justified to 2100° F by a few specific-heat measurements made at this Labora- tory, but it is believed that the true vaporization heat (25.61 kcal/mole) may be obtained from saturation data below 1700° F and that the temperature trend above this point results from error in extrapolating the specific heat of the liquid.

Piscussion of Saturation Pressures - The measurement of saturation pressures directly with a diaphragm detector is new to the high-temperature field. The relative merits of the apparatus and the uncertainties to be expected ir the various measurement parameters are discussed in the potassium report (la). If «._ take into account all known sources of error in the saturation measurements, the percent probable error in the pres- sure ranges from ±0.64T at 1 atm to a maximum of ±0.80^ at 23 atm.

Makansi (8) has measured vapor pressures of a number of the alkali metals including sodium and potassium by the boiling-point method. The NRL results for both potassium and sodium by a static method are in close agreement with the corresponding results of Makansi. This fact tendß to increase the degree of confidence which can be placed in the observed saturation pressures for both metals.

Density Measurements of Liquid Sodium

The density^ of liquid sodium was determined with columbium-l^ zirconium pyenom- eters of 30 cc nominal volume by the method described for potassium (la). Measured densities over the temperature range from 1577° to 2491° F are reported in Table 5 and presented graphically along with those of other investigators in Fig. 5. The recommended

^Preliminary values and equations for the density of sodium (29) were based on incorrect values for the thermal expansion of columbium-1% zirconium.

In general, the dilatometric measurements show good internal consistency over the full temperature range, and it is believed that Eq.

Specific-Heat Measurements of Liquid Sodium

Specific heats of saturated liquid sodium were determined from 212° to 2140° F. A bucket containing the alkali metal was equilibrated at a known temperature in a specially designed furnace and dropped into a copper-block calorimeter, permitting a measurement of the heat evolved in cooling the sample to 30° C. This procedure was repeated at a num- ber of furnace temperatures for both filled and empty buckets, and the heat capacities of the sample were derived by standard calorimetric procedures. The specific-heat system and the methods employed have been described in detail by Walker et al. (17).

The heat capacities of sodium and of sapphire, a calorimetric standard, are presented in Tables 7 and 8. The observed values for each material are compared to corresponding values obtained at the National Bureau of Standards (18). Comparison results for sodium above 1650°F, the limit of the NBS measurements, represent an extrapolation using the NBS specific-heat equation. Although the deviations for each material are generally below ±3%, they are higher than those obtained in previous measurements with the same calorimetric system. The majv.r portion of this error stems from a large random uncer- tainty observed in duplicate measurements. During the potassium study (la), the method and the calorimetric system were completely re-examined 'or possible sources of error, but no significant source was discovered. It is now believed that the reduced measurement precision resulted from the relatively low sample-to-container heat-content ratio (1:3) which tended to magnify nominal system errors. It was necessary to use the thick-walled Inconel container, with its accompanying unfavorable heat-content ratio, in order to with- stand the pressure of potassium vapor at operating temperature.

Specific heats of sodium at intermediate temperatures were measured at NRL several years ago but were not published. These results are now reported in Table 9 and com- pared with correp'^onding NBS values. The mean deviation of the data is only ±0.5%, because the measurements were made under more favorable conditions using an iron bucket with a sample-to-container heat-content ratio of 2:1.

The specific-heat results at both high and intermediate temperatures are presented graphically in Fig. 6 and are compared to the existing data and curve of Ginnings, Douglas, and Ball (18).

SUMMARY OF FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES USED IN T'üE i HERMODYNAMIC TREATMENTS

Deuäiiy oi Liquid Sodium

Densities of the condensed phase were obtained from Eq. (5), which was derived from the observed data of this Laboratory and of other investigators.

Enthalpy and Entropy of Monomeric Sodium Vapor

Equations for absolute enthalpy and entropy of monomeric vapor as functions of temperature were derived from the work of Evans et al. (19) and are based on their standard enthalpies and entropies for the monomeric gas over the temperature range from 0° to 2800°F and on the enthalpy of vaporization at 0oR (26.10 mean kcal/mole) as obtained from the vapor-pressure data of this Laboratory. The equations for the mono- meric gas at 1 atm (relative to the solid at 0oR) are

CsV = 0.23859 + 0.21598 in T. (7)

Specific Heat at Constant Pressure of Monomeric Sodium Vapor

The temperature equation for the specific heat of monomeric vapor at constant pres- sure was also derived from the work of Evans et al. (19) and is based on their computed specific heats over the temperature range from 0° to 3300° F. The relation for the mono- meric gas at 1 atm is

{c*)0 =0.21598 +6.053 e-3T,280/f _ ^jj

Enthalpy and Entropy of Liquid Sodium

The thermodynamic properties presented in this report are based on the properties of the monomeric gas at 1 atm, but comparison calculations were made using the proper- ties of the saturated liquid as a starting point. The absolute properties of the liquid (relative to the solid at 0oR) were computed with

h\ =0.389352 r- 0. 552955x10-T2 + 0. 113726'lO''Z'3 - 29.023 (9)

»j = 0.896497 log 7 - 1. 10557*10-4r + 0. 170408*10-'f2 - 1.792026 . (IQ)

These equations were derived directly from the work of Ginnings et al. (18) and are based on their specific-beat equations for the solid and liquid over the temperature range 32° to 1650° F. The absolute enthalpy and entropy of solid sodium at 32° F were taken from the work of Evans et al. (19). The specific heat of liquid sodium was also measured

Page 19: re Properties of Sodium - DTIC · The nine PVT experiments for sodium (Table 2) covered a wide range in the super- heat region with measured temperatures extending from 1760° to

NAVAL RESEARCH I ABORATORY 15

at this Laboratory (see "Specific Heat" section) for the temperature range from 600° to 2150° F. The NRL results overlap and extend the NBS range with an average deviation from their equation of only ±1.5%. Therefore, the upper measured limit of Eqs. (9) and (10) is extended to 2150°?, but thermodynamic cr'culations to 25750F with the liquid base still require a 400° F extrapolation of the specific-heat data.

Saturation Pressure of Liquid Sodium

Three vapor-pressure equations were derived from least-squares correlations, but Eq. (1) was selected to compute other thermodynamic quantities in this report.

Enthalpy and Entropy of Vaporization of Sodium

Heats of vaporization were calculated with

^« r 'P.. 22 982 t£lI2£ . 0.61344 («-/- <i) (11)

which was derived by a differentiation of Eq. (1) and a substitution into the Clapeyron equation. A value of »j at each temperature was obtained from Eq. (5) and a value of »f from the virial equation of state (Eq. (14)).

The entropy of vaporization at each saturation point was obtained by dividing the appropriate enthalpy change by the absolute temperature as shown in

THERMODYNAMIC TREATMENT OF PVT AND ASSOCIATED PROPERTIES

The imperfections which occur in the alkali metal vapors and the various treatments of these imperfections in the reduction of PVT data are discussed at some length in the potassium report (la). A quasl-chemlcal analysis of the PVT data presented later in this report tends to identify the dimeric and tetrameric species, and it is believed that the major imperfection in sodium vapor stems from the existence of these higher- molecular-weight species. The species are present in sufficient abundance to require consideration of their presence In the determination of the thermodynamic properties of the vapor.

The important properties (enthalpy, entropy, and speeiüc heat) may be reduced from the PVT data by the use of either of two methods, the virial or the quasi-chemical. In the first, the gas is treated as a monatomic assembly with all apparent imperfections given by a virial equation of state, and the thermodynamic quantities are obtained as corrections to those of the monatomic gas in terms of the virial coefficients. In the second method, equilibrium constants are derived for the mobile equilibria by treating the gas as a mix- ture of molecular species, and other thermodynamic quantities are derived from the enthalpy changes associated with changes in the molecular composition of the vapor. For the latter method, it is assumed that all species behave as perfect gases.

The virial equation of state with coefficients through the fourth virial was reduced from the raw PVT data and used to compute enthalpies, entropies, specific volumes, and sperific heats for the vapor states of sodium. The alternative equation of state consistiu^ of the perfect gas equation and the equilibrium constants of the association reactions was

Page 20: re Properties of Sodium - DTIC · The nine PVT experiments for sodium (Table 2) covered a wide range in the super- heat region with measured temperatures extending from 1760° to

16 NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY

used as a check to compute the same engineering properties and, in addition, to compute the molecular composition for saturated and superheated vapor states. Since both of these methods were used in preliminary analyses of the compressibility data, the application of each method to the sodium iata will be described in some detail later in this report.

The thermodynamic properties of sodium by both the virial method and the quasi- chemical method were computed along constant temperature lines. The starting point for a particular property could have been the absolute value of that property for either the saturated liquid or for the monomeric gas at 1 atm. Therefore, two computational paths exist for obtaining each absolute property in the superheat region. The engineering properties were computed along both paths by the virial method, and the results are com- pared in this report.

Virial Coefficients of Sodium

The virial equation of state in the volume expansion form

pV , ß C I) /Fr = 1 + ^ + ^+p+ ••• (13)

was used for the analyses of all three alkali metal systems The virial coefficients for sodium in this equation were reduced from the PVT data by the method described for potassium (la). The coefficients are temperature dependent and were derived graphically by plotting functions along constant temperature lines. The small experimental errors in the PVT data were again largely systematic, which permitted the use of the adjustment procedure (la) to derive a more precise temperature coefficient for each virial.

The adjustment procedure required the selection of a reference isotherm with the maximum pressure range of compressibility factors in order to obtain the maximum definition of the virial coefficient. Accordingly, a reference temperature of 2525° F was selected. The compressibility factor * at this temperature was plotted as a function i/i^ (Fig. 7), and the second virial coefficient « was obtained as the lim dz/d{ i/v) as i/v - o^ Also,Ja - \)v was plotted as a function of i V and B was obtained as the lim (e ■ DV as i/F - o . The value of H by either procedure appeared to lie between 22 and 26, but 24.3 was selected, since this gave the best internal consistency between the low- and high-pressure results as determined from a plot of [(? - i)i* - H]V versus i v. From this final plot of the quantity [(a - \)v ■ n]v versus i/r , the adjustment factors were computed from the best linear curve drawn through the data (Fig. 8).

Assuming all errors to be systematic, the compressibility factors for each of the nine experimems were adjusted at all temperatures by the factors obtained at 2525° F. Using these adjusted compressibility factors, which are identified by .?* in all quantities, i z* - \)V was plotted as a function of \v for isotherms at 50-degree intervals between 2175° and 2575° F, and second virial coefficients were obtained from these plots. Third and fourth^virial coefficients were obtained by plotting the quantity [{B* ■ \)V - H] v versus 1 V for isotherms at 50-degree intervals between 2175° and 2575°F. Additional second virial coefficients in the lower temperature range from 1775° to 2125° F were obtained by computing the average value of [U - DK - cv ■ DV

2] tor the lower

pressure experiments on each isotherm. The values of C and I) required for these cal- culations were obtained by extrapolating their temperature equations. Virial coefficients are functions of equilibrium constants (la), and each coefficient can be represented for the full measured temperature range by a simple exponential relationship in 1 7 (Eq. (14)).

Experimental PVT data were also obtained from 2175° to 1775° F, but the number of experimental points in this region di^ not permit one to obtain reliable virial coefficients

by the graphical method. Consequently, before the virial equation of state for sodium was acceptable for calculations below 2175° F, it was necessary to determine its fit to the observed lower temperature data. At temperatures and pressures corresponding to the observed low-temperature points, compressibility factors were calculated and com- pared to the observed values. The fit of the virial equation of state to the lower tempera- ture data was found to be practically equivalent to that obtained at higher temperatures.

It should be emphasized that the procedure of adjusting the data (in no case did an adjustment factor exceed 0.7% of 2) was used only as an expedient in obtaining more precise temperature coefficients for the virials. Equally valid virial and temperature coefficients could have been obtained more laboriously from unadjusted data.

(14) are compared to experimental com- pressibilities at 100-degree intervals from 1775° to 2575° F. The observed specific- volume data in Table 2, or comoressibility factors derived from that data, may be calcu- lated from the virial equation with an average deviation of 4 0.26^. As in the case of the potassium data (la), this deviation is of a magnitude predicted by random and systematic errors in the null-point measurements.

Thermodynamic Properties of Sodium by the Virial Method (Monomeric Gas Path)

Expressions for the thermodynamic properties (monomeric gas path) in terms of the second and thirH virial coefficients were derived by Hirschfelder et al. (20). By the same method, another set of equations was derived and extended to include the fourth virial

A Comparison of the Monomeric Gas Path and the Liquid Path for Thermodynamic Calculations

The thermodynamic properties of sodivm were computed along constant temperature lines. The starting point for a particular property could have been the absolute value of that property for either the saturated liquid or for the monomeric gas at 1 atm. As an example of using the liquid property as a base, the enthalpy of the saturated vapor at a t'iven temperature is obtained by adding the enthalpy of vaporization to the corresponding aosolute enthalpy of the saturated liquid, and the enthalpy at any state in the superheat region is obtained by adding the enthalpy change in the superheat region to the enthalpy of the saturated vapor. For the monomeric gas base, the enthalpy of the vapor at satura- tion or at any other pressure is obtained by adding the enthalpy change to the correspond- ing absolute value of the ideal gas at 1 atm. The enthalpy of the saturated liquid is then obtained by subtracting the enthalpy of vaporization from that of the saturated vapor.

Three properties (enthalpy, entropy, and specific heat) of sodium vapor were com- puted by both paths at selected states in the superheat region (Table 10) covering the temperature range of the measured data. The properties of the liquid for the full temper- ature range were obtained from Eqs. (9) and (10), which are based on the specific-heat measurements of Ginnings et al. (18) and NRL and on the absolute properties of solid

^Preliminary properties as computed by the monomeric ^as path (Z^) were based on incof' rect values for the thermal expansion of columbium-1% zirconium. They differ signifi- cantly in some cases from the final values in this report.

sodium at 32° F from the work of Evans et al. (19). The base pre parties of the monomeric gas were computed from Eqs. (6), (7), and (8), which were derived directly from the monomeric gas properties of Evans (19).

In order for the comparison of the two computational paths to be more meaningful, several points should be considered. The virial equation of state, common to both paths, was reduced from PVT data covering a pressure range o^ 1.86 to 25.1 atm and a temper- ature range of 1758° to 2588° F. The PVT data, therefore, effectively cover the full tem- perature and pressure ranges of the properties reported in AppenJix B, and only a short extrapolation of the equation is required at pressure states below 1.86 atm. Even so, small errors in the specific volume of the vapor, resulting from an extension of the virial equation or from slight inconsistencies in the virial or in the saturated vapor-pressure equations, will be reflected strongly in the properties computed along the liquid path, since these properties are dependent upon vaporization quantities. Properties computed along the liquid path at higher temperatures are also influenced by any error due to the required extrapolation of the liquid specific heat above its measured limit, 2150oF. Properties computed along the monomeric gas path are independent of both the liquid specific-heat measurements and the vaporization quantities.

The best comparison of the properties by the two computational paths can be made at temperatures below 2200°F, since this approximately represents the measured limit of the liquid specific heat. In the temperature range from 1625° to 2200° F, absolute enthalpies in the superheat region, based on the properties of the saturated liquid, were 8 to 12 Btu/lb (approximately 0.3 to O.S'X) higher than corresponding values based on the monomeric gas properties. Likewise, entropies by the liquid path were .004 to .006 Btu/lb-0F (approximately 0.2 to 0.3%) higher, and specific heats were 1 to 6% lower than those by the other path.

The relatively constant difference between the absolute property values as computed by the two paths over the temperature range from 1625° to 2200° F implies error in base properties along one or both of the two paths. There are, of course, sources of error along both the liquid and the monomeric gas paths. The properties by the gas path are dependent on the value selected for the heat of vaporization of solid sodium at 0oR (AWj)„ and on the statistical mechanical calculations for the monomer. The value of this heat of vaporization is generally derived from vapor-pressure data. From a third-law analysis of the vapor-pressure data of this Laboratory using the virial equation of state (see section entitled "Experimental Saturation Pressures"), a value of 25.61 kcal/mole was obtained, and this was used for all the thermodynamic calculations in this report. Evans et al. (19) analyzed the vapor-pressure measurements existing at that time and selected a value of 25.908 kcal/mole. If this latter value had been used for the monomeric gas calculations, the magnitudes of the absolute enthalpies by the two paths would be reversed from that shown in Table 10. It is interesting to note that an intermediate value of approximately 25.76 would bring the enthalpies by the two paths into close agreement.

In Table 10 it will be noted that the enthalpy of the superheated vapor at any given pressure, if computed from the liquid base, exhibits an abnormal decrease in slope beginning at 2200° F and becoming pronounced at 2500° F. This is reflected in the specific-heat values which at 2500°F are 9 to 21°^ lower than those computed by the monomeric gas path. Part of this apparent error in enthalpy as computed along the liquid path may have resulted from the extrapolation of the liquid specific heats above their measured range or to errors in other quantities along the two computational paths. It is believed that a part must also be attributed to errors in the enthalpies of vaporiza- tion resulting from small inconsistencies in the virial equation at higher pressures.

Engineering design calculations put prime emphasis on the change in enthalpy or entropy when moving from one state to another rather than on their absolute values; therefore, the choice of path is of minor importance for both these properties. However,

Page 27: re Properties of Sodium - DTIC · The nine PVT experiments for sodium (Table 2) covered a wide range in the super- heat region with measured temperatures extending from 1760° to

NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY 23

specific heat of the vapor would be expected to be more accurate if computed from the monomeric gas path, since this path is independent of vaporization quantities and does not require an extrapolation of the specific heat of the liquid above its measured range. Therefore, the monomeric gas path has been chosen for computation of all the tabular properties in this report.

Molecular Reactions in Sodium Vapor and Their Equilibrium Constants

If it is assumed that all molecular species behave as perfect gases, the association of sodium vapor can be represented by a series of independent equilibria of the type

n Va , .• K. (22)

The equilibrium constants are defined by

*„ = n— (23) CNJ".."-'

where n may be 2, 3, o 4 for the dimeric, trineric, and tetrameric reactions, respectively.

The existence of the dimeric species has been verified spectroscopically (22), but the higher-molecular-weight species have not been identified. Before equilibrium con- stants could be reduced from the raw PVT data, an identification of the species higher than the dimer was required. The method employed with sodium was one which has been applied frequently to the study of association in hydrogen-bonded organics (21). The apparent equilibrium constant of dimerization k'2t when all association is taken to be dimerization, can be expressed as a power series (21)

<•; k2 , 2k3p . ;^4p2 + 2ky ■ 2*2*4p3 + ••■ (24)

in terms of the pressure and the true equilibrium constants of the association reactions. The apparent dimerization constants at a given temperature may be computed from the raw PVT data, and the relationship of the apparent constants to pressure may be used to predict the higher reactions present in the vapor and to compute their equilibrium constants.

Although the posslblllti of the coexistence of significant amounts of both trimer and tetramer was recognized, the existence of only one hlgher-molecular-welght species was bellevod to be more probable. If PVT data are of sufficiently high precision, a distinction between trimer and tetramer can be made with Eq. (24). If, In a vapor mixture, species of molecular weight higher t'ian the trimer are not present, Eq. (24) (by setting ^4 o) reduces to

*• - 2klp3 -. k2 + 2kip . (25)

Likewise, If the trlmerlc species Is taken as Insignificant, the same equation reduces to

/:• + 2k2kip' -.k2 , Uy . (26)

Page 28: re Properties of Sodium - DTIC · The nine PVT experiments for sodium (Table 2) covered a wide range in the super- heat region with measured temperatures extending from 1760° to

24 NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY

When proper adjustments are made for the small p' term in Eqs. (25) and (26), a linear relationship between (k', ■ ik-p*) and p implies the existence of trimer, while a linear relationship between (k' * 2k2kip3} and p2 implies the existence of tetramer. Accordingly, the fit of each relationship (Figs. 10 and 11) to the experimental PVT data for sodium at 2525° F was tested. The vertical line for each data point represents the probable error assigned to each equilibrium constant. It will be noted that the tetramer relationship (Eq. (26) and Fig. 11) provides th"1 best fit to the experimental data. This was also true in a similar test made with the PVT data for potassium (la). Therefore, the assumption that sodium vapor consists of monomeric, dimeric, and tetramoric species is based on evidence from the two alkali metal systems.

Equilibrium constants for the dimeric and tetrameric association reactions of sodium were reduced from the PVT data with Eq. (26) by the same method as that described in the potassium report (la). The temperature of 2525°F was again chosen as a basis for the adjustment of the experimental data. At this temperature, k\ was plotted versus ( ipJ - 2k2i) ') on successive graphical plots until a final curve was obtained for which the intercept was not significantly different from the A , estimated from the previous plot. The factor required for each of the nine PVT experiments to correct the average molecular weight of the vapor for the apparent systematic error was computed from the deviation of k', from the best linear curve. The plot of k^ versus i 3p2 - 2k2p ') is not presented, since the equivalent plot of fAj + 2*2A:4p

3; versus p2 was presented as Fig. 11. Deviations of experimental points and the probable errors assigned to the points are not altered by the slightly different method of plotting the data.

Assuming all errors to be systematic, the apparent equilibrium constants of dimeri- zation .<■' for each of the nine experiments were adjusted at all temperatures by the multi- plying factor obtained at 2525°F. The adjusted values of ^!, identified as f k',)*, were plotted as a function of Up2 - ik,?*) for isotherms at SO-degree intervals between 2125° and 2575° F; and the thermodynamic constants for the dimeric and tetrameric reactions were obtained from these plots. The values of each equilibrium constant were effectively fitted for the full temperature range by a simple exponential relationship in i 7 , and the resulting equations are presented in the next section.

A few experimental PVT points were obtained between 1775° and 2125° F. Since dimerization is still significant at these temperatures, the reliability of Eqs. (27) and (28) in this region had to be determined by testing the agreement of extrapolated and experimental points. Experimental values oi k , for each observed k] below 2125° F were computed with Eq. (26) (values of A-, were obtained from Eq. (28)) and these values .vere found to be in satisfactory agreement with those obtained by an extrapolation of Eq. (27).

It should again be recognized that the adjustment procedure was used only as a technique in the reduction of data. The average adjustment factor was ±0.31"? of t/,,, and in no case did a factor exceed 0.8%.

Theoretically the equilibrium constants derived for the dimerization reaction should be independent of the assumptions made regarding imperfections in the vapor, since k., for any type of imperfection is the 1 i m ^', as p ^ o. For the sodium data this was not true. The intercept or *•, for each isotherm had to be defined in part by the higher pres- sure data, since data at pressures below 8 atm were too few and of too low precision. Therefore, the magnitude of the dimerization constant was affected to the extent of several percent by the assumptions regarding gas imperfections.

The Quasi-Chemical Equation of State of Sodium

The second equation of state of sodium vapor consists of the three equations,::

(27)

(28)

(29)

The observed specific volume data in Table 2, or the corresponding compressibility factors, may be computed from these three equations with an average deviation of ±0.26%. This equation of state, therefore, is equivalent to the virial form and may also be used to compute other thermodynamic properties.

Compositional Properties of Sodium by the Quasi-Chemical Method

Enthalpies of the Dimeric and Tetrameric Reactions in Sodium Vapor - Enthalpies of the two reactions were obtained with the van't Hoff equation

by substituting the known differentials from Eqs. (27) and (28). The standard enthalpies so obtained are

2,Va ~(Va2, A//° = "32.948 Hlu lb-mole or-18.30 mean kcal mole

\Na ~Nav&H° - -74,661 Btu lb-mole or-41.48 mean kcal mole.

Within the precision of the measurements, each reaction enthalpy was constant for the temperature range of the observed equilibrium constant.

The magnitude of the dimerization equilibrium constant has been shown to be depen- dent upon the choice of the higher-molecular-weight species. On the other hand, the temperature dependency of k2, upon which the reaction enthalpy is based, is practically independent of this assumption; and a probable error of ±0.46 kcal/mole has been assigned to Ml". The enthalpy of the tetrameric reaction can be influenced by the treat- ment of imperfections, unless it is assumed that all simple collisions leading to inter- molecular attractions can be treated ideally as molecular association. In any event, no assignment of accuracy has been made for the enthalpy of this reaction.

The association enthalpy at absolute zero of the dimeric reaction was calculated by two methods. A value of -17.0 kcal/mole was obtained at an average temperature of 2250^ with the equation

(A//o0)2 Ml", ■ NH" ■ H^Zl (31)

Preliminary equilibrium constants (29) for the dimerization and tet rame rization reactions were based on incorrect thermal expansion coefficients for columbium-1% zirconium.

using the observed reaction enthalpy and the computed enthaloy functions of Evans et al. (19). Another value of -16.8+0.05 kcal/mole (which is an average for the temperature range from 1800° to 2400° F) was obtained with the equation

-H \n k (F0 - II') I 2

using the observed equilibrium constants and the computed free-energy functions of Evans. The agreement between the enthalpy constants as computed by the two methods increases the degree of confidence which can be placed in the measured quantity and the computed thermal functions. The value of -17.0 may be compared to the spectroscopic value of -17.53 by Herzberg (22) and to the molecular-beam value of -16.91 by Lewis (23).

Equilibrium Composition of Saturated and Superheated Sodium Vapor - The relative amounts of dimer and tetramer in the equilibrium vapor and the average molecular weight of the vapor at each pressure and temperature state (Appendixes C and D) were computed by a modification of the method of Ritter and Simons (24), which was presented in detail for potassium (la). T'ie application of this method required a knowledge of the average molecular weight of the vapoi and the two equilibrium constants. With equilibrium con- stants obtained from Eqs. (27) and (28), the average molecular weight of the vapor at a given state was computed from the three equations

A Comparison of the Thermodynamic Properties by the Virial and the Quasi-Chemical Methods (Monomeric Gas Path)

Enthalpies and entropies of selected vapor stales of sodium were computed by the quasi-chemical method for comparison with those by the virial method. These are pre- sented graphically as a partial Mollier diagram (Fig. 12) and compared to the correspond- ing diagram generated by the virial method. Enthalpy and entropy changes along constant temperature lines as computed by both methods are in good agreement. For example, the maximum enthalpy changes by the quasi-chemical method (from p., to 0.2 atm) for temperatures in the measured range of the PVT data ^1725° to 2500°F) are an average of only LOT different from corresponding changes b" the virial method. Similarly, entropy changes by the quasi-chemical method are only 0.3^ different from corresponding changes by the virial method.

Although the two equations of state are essentially equivalent, the thermodynamic properties as computed by the virial method have been selected over those by the other method for several reasons: (a) higher confidence in the thermodynamic relationships of the virial method, (b) the appreciable error that may be generated in quantities com- puted from equilibrium constants and enthalpies of tho reactions by the assumption of linear relationships for the variation of log ki with 1/T, and (c) the relative simplicity of the calculation of the specific heat of the vapor by the virial method. All the final thermodynamic properties of sodium in Appendixes A and B and in the Mollier diagram (Fig. 13) were computed by the virial method.

DISCUSSION OF QUASI-CHEMICAL TREATMENT AND COMPOSITIONAL INFORMATION

The PVT results have been satisfactorily interpreted by a quasi-chemical approach assuming that sodium vapor is an ideal mixture of monomeric, dimeric, and tetrameric species. This physical picture of the vapor is based solely on the thermodynamic analysis of observed PVT results. The existence of the dimeric species has been verified spectro- scopically (22), but the tetramer has not been identified by any other type of measurement. It was recognized that other molecular states of the vapor with their corresponding formu- las might be equally as effective in a treatment of the data. As a test of this hypothesis, tVj sodium results were analyzed as an imperfect mixture of monomeric and dimeric species.

The van der Waals equation was chosen to treat the gas imperfections (interactions 01 atoms or molecules not leading to stable assemblies). This equation of state

V.RT — (38)

for an imperfect vapor with a dimer equilibrium was derived by Vukalovich et al. (28). The value of bl, which represents the excluded volume correction, can be reliably esti- mated from the condensed volume (la). The mixture law used by Vukalovich in deriving the internal pressure term a, v2 is not valid for metal vapors, and o, would be expected to vary with both composition and temperature. However, since the dimer content of the vapor is small and the reduced temperature range is short, the coefficient o, has been assumed to be a constant. The value of this coefficient cannot be estimated theoretically and must be obtained empirically by fitting Eq. (38) to the PVT data.

The objective was to see whether or not another physical state of the vapor would cor- relate the PVT results, and no attempt was made to determine exact equational fits. How- ever, it was readily apparent that a value of a, for Eq. (38) could be found for which the corresponding dimerization constants were independent of pressure along isotherms over the full temperature range. It was concluded that an effective equation of state could be obtained in terms of »he van der Waals relationship and the ccrresponding equilibrium constants of the dimerization reaction.

A direct implication of this analysis is that several physical states of the vapor, including an Imperfect mixture of monomeric, dimeric, and trimeric species, would also satisfy the PVT data. This is not surprising. Although these gas imperfections may in reality result either from the interaction of species or from molecular association, they are all close approaches of atoms or molecules and differ mainly in longevity or average life of contact. This study of molecular models only serves to emphasize that imperfec- tions of either type may be properly treated from the thermodynamic standpoint a.; inter- actions or as associated molecules.

All applications of the molecular composition information for the vapor states of sodium (Appendixes C vnd D) should be made with full realization that all values are based on the most probable model or on the most probable set of assumptions regarding imperfections. If, at a later date, the higher-molecular-weight species is positively identified to be other than the tetramer or if it becomes possible to partition the inter- action imperfections from association, the PVT data can be readily reanalyzed using the correct model.

DISCUSSION OF THERMODYNAMIC AND ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SODIUM

The engineering and thermodynamic properties of sodiurr, ! which are presented in Appendixes A and B and in the large Mollier diagram (Fig. Ij), were computed by the virial method and are based on the monomeric gas properties at 1 atm. Two basic rela- tionships, the virial equation of state and the vapor-pressure equation, were used with the thermodynamic equations to derive the superheat and saturation properties. The virial equation was reduced from PVT data covering a pressure range of 1.86 to 25.1 atm and a temperature range of 1758° to 2588° F. The satura. d vapor-pressure equa- tion represents data covering a pressure range of 1.00 to 23.82 atm and a temperature range of 1618.6 to 2539° F. Thus the observed data effectively cover all states in Appendixes A and B, and only short extrapolations with Eqs. (1) and (14) are required for the pressure states below 1.86 atm. In contrast to ♦he compositional information, these properties are completely independent of any a inptions made regarding imper- fections. They have been examined and evaluated by several tests for internal consi tency and by duplicate calculations using two independent equations of state. It is believed that they represent the best values and that they will be satisfactory for any type of calculation required in the design of turbines using sodium as working fluid.

The present study represents the only known PVT measurements of sodium. How- ever, there are a number of publications in which thermodynamic properties of the vapoi have been computed from saturation pressures, spectroscopic data, and published thermo- dynamic functions of the monomeric and dimeric vapors. The properties derived in this report from the PVT study were compared with those derived in two recent publications by Makansi et al. (25) and Weatherford et al. (26), and the overall agreement is good. If we arbitrarily take the NRL data as a reference and compare at each temperature enthalpy and entropy changes from pa to 0.3 atm, the enthalpy changes reported by Makansi are 5 to 20% lower and the entropy changes on the average differ by 1.4%. By a similar comparison ( ps to 0.2 atm), the enthalpy changes reported by Weatherford are an average of 8% higher, and the entropy changes differ by ±0.6%.

As background for the present study, thermodynamic properties of sodium vapor were computed at NRL (27) using the saturation pressures of Makansi et al. (8) and the thermodynamic functions of Evans et al. (19). If we again take the properties derived from the PVT measurements as a reference and compare at each temperature the enthalpy and entropy changes from p, to 0.2 atm, the enthalpy changes estimated previously are an average of 11% higher, and the entropy changes are an average of 3.9% lower than thosr observed in this report.

Saturation pressures of sodium were measured between 1437° and 2539' F with the null-point apparatus. This method, which is new to the measurement of saturation pres- sures at high temperatures, has been shown to be cap.'ble of high accuracy. The precision and internal consistency of the saturation measurements are attested to by the small variation in (Min0), as computed for all the vapor-pressure data and by the small devia- tion (tO.37%) of all measured data from a simple three-term equation. In the previous study on potassium (la) an equation of the Kirchhoff type was effective in fitting the satur- ation pressures. This study with sodium reaffirms that an equation of this type is required to describe accurately the dependence of vapor pressure on temperature.

Densities of the condensed phase were measured in the temperature range from 1577° to 2491° F with pycnometers. This method was time consuming since an independent measurement was required at each temperature point, but results of unquestionable accuracy were obtained. With these new measurements and those generated by several

^Preliminary tables of thermodynamic properties (29) were based on incorrect thermal expansion values for columbium-] % zirconium.

NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY 33

other investigators at lower temperatures, overlapping determinations have b ?en made from the melting point to 2491° F; and the density of liquid sodium is well defined for this full temperature range.

The specific heat of the condensed phase was measured from 212° to 2140° F. Values at intermediate temperatures from 212° to 1200° F were measured under ideal conditions and are in good agreement with the specific-heat data of Ginnings et al. (18), The .alues at higher temperatures were measured under less ideal conditions with relatively high probable errors, but they do tend to substantiate an extension of the specific-heat data of Ginnings. A more accurate knowledge of this property above 2200° F is needed.

The liquid metal program at this Laboratory is only a small part of the total national effort in this area. The internal consistency and the confidence limits of the properties of sodium, potassium, and cesium can be more fully evaluated as additional properties are measured for the three metals. Particularly important in this respect would be reliable determinations of the heat of vaporization, the specific heat of liquid and vapor, and the electrical conductivity of the vapor. A direct determination of the heat of vapori- zation would help to evaluate the thermodynamic computation of this quantity from the Clapeyron equation. Similarly, a direct determination of the specific heat of the vapor would test the values computed from the virial equation of state, and a determination of the electrical conductivity would provide additional information on the degree of ioniza- tion of the vapor.

13 ABSTRACT

An experimental program is in progress at this Laboratory to measure various thermophysical properties of sodium, potassium, and cesium. A final reporting of the experimental results for sodium (saturation and super- heat properties of the vapor, density and specific heat of the liquid) is pre- sented together with a thermodynamic treatment of the data. Two equations of state are advanced, one virial and one quasi-chemical; and additional saturation and superheat properties of the vapor are derived from these equations. Either of two paths can be used to compute thermodynamic properties, the monomeric gas path or the liquid path; but results obtained by the former procedure are believed to be more accurate. Enthalpy, entropy, specific volume, specific heat, and compositional information (weight fraction of dimer, weight fraction of tetramer, and average molecular weight) are tabu- lated for some 700 selected vapor states in the temperature range from 1625° to 2575*F and in the pressure range from 0.2 to 25 atm.
